Yes, I am concerned about the selection of Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State. Yes, her sometimes despicable husband can be a problem. Yes, she differs in perspective from Obama on some key issues. Yes, she can be annoyingly cold.
However no one can deny her stature among world leaders. No one can deny that she brings some unique gifts and experiences to the position. And no one can question the strength of leadership that Barack Obama possesses. He will lead a strong team. I personally await New Mexico Governor Richardson to be appointed to the cabinet.
Few presidents, if any, disgraced the office and damaged the nation as much as George W. Bush. Perhaps our lofty hopes for Barack Obama are unattainable, but we are left with little beyond that in the rubble of 2001-2009. Think of how low the image of the U.S. has sunk in the past eight years. Even our closest nation-friends grew to despise our actions. No democratic nation in the world thinks George W. Bush's military adventures and corporate hand-outs were the actions of a man of democratic intent. He is/was an ignorant bully with smaller nations. He had people tortured. He ran up astronomical budget deficits. He landed on an aircraft carrier with the boastful "Mission Accomplished" banner boorishly displayed. This military bravado from a man whose military "career" left a great deal to be desired.
Yes, there is no need to dwell on the failures and deviousness of President George W. Bush. The very title with his name attached makes one grimace and want to vomit. But unless there is a clear acknowledgment, the right-wing nutcases will continue to try and convince us otherwise. The man was an absolute failure...with the military, with the budget, with the infrastructure, with health care, with his "guardianship" of children, with the environment, with the elderly, with foreign affairs, with justice, with education, with medical science, with religion, with human rights, with our energy policy, ...the list could go on endlessly. He is what he is, he was what he was. To quote a recently-famous analogy: neocons can try to put lipstick on this pig, but it's still a pig. As a man with a master's degree in history, let me assure you that George W. Bush will go down in history as a sad, devious leader who greatly damaged the United States of America.
Imagine the reason two presidents were put on trial, and then further imagine why George W. Bush escaped that. President Johnson's trial was a trumped up action, and so was President Clinton's trial. Clinton's private life is none of my damn business, just as George W. Bush's horrible private life is none of my business. But his direct actions as president ARE the business of every American. These actions have not only been atrocious and sometimes even inhuman, he has lowered the esteem and reputation of this nation. Compare how Clinton's private acts and Bush's official actions reflected on the nation and how it is viewed in the world. Clinton still carries respect and honor internationally, Bush does not.
George W. Bush illegally invaded a sovereign nation, Iraq. The claim that he was given faulty C.I.A. information is bogus. From the very beginning many of us who know the background and make-up of the Middle East screamed that he not invade. He lied to Congress and the American people. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq is a sovereign nation. If we wanted to free people who were abused by a dictator, why didn't we invade nations whose atrocities against their citizens were at least as horrible as Saddam Hussein's: North Korea, Burma, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Batista's Cuba, Somoza's Nicaragua, Marcos' Phillipines, etc.???
As the CEOs of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler sat before Congress, there was a growing tendency in American public opinion to shift blame to the UAW and the labor unions for the financial failure in the U.S. auto industry. Nonsense! Yes, auto workers in these corporations are well paid, but they NEGOTIATED their wage and benefit packages. These same CEOs were a part of the agreed labor contracts, and the corporate executives meanwhile enhanced their individual income packages EACH by many millions of dollars. If GM, Ford, and Chrysler had continued their sales growth, as Toyota and Honda did, there would not be this mess in the auto industry. No labor union ordered the U.S. auto makers to build huge SUVs, Hummers, etc. That decision was made by the heads of the industry.
It should also be pointed out that while auto workers in some other auto producing nations do not seem to have the benefits of U.S. workers, these other nations have paid national health care programs that are NOT a part of any "benefit" package that auto workers have to negotiate. All citizens in those nations have tax-paid health care. And there are more benefits that other nations' workers receive as a part of the general population's paid benefits. American costs for health care are going up and up at a rapid rate. And performence in U.S. health care is far below the industrialized nations of Europe. American health and life expectancy is far below that of other industrialized nations, yet it costs us far more. American health care is a scam. Auto workers in the U.S. are faced with these figures. But I cannot emphasize enough that the same CEO greedy dolts who sat before Congress were OK when the labor contracts were negotiated as long as the execs got their immense pay-off. So it is important to keep this all in mind, and not single out labor union workers.
As political hacks begin to power up for the arrival of a new president, it is important to recognize who put Barack Obama in the White House. It was far more than members of the Democratic Party. And Obama must realize that he is not the traditionally elected official who owes it all to one of the political parties. The Democrats have made a mess of their own party, and they could not have elected Obama. In fact, the two elections of a man of such low caliber as George W. Bush is ample testimony to the impotence of the Democrat Party.
Obama owes much to a wider group of supporters. His very campaign was outside the norm as he ushered in large numbers of new voters via the electronic networks. Expectations are high. Demands will be forthcoming. He will have to have keen insight into a wide spectrum of humane and progressive programs. Being a liberal will not be enough.
The modus operandi of the neocons, fascists, right-wingers, bigots, etc. is becoming clear. First, make some general statement about warning that Obama will not be able to solve the problems facing us. Then remain silent. And when success by Obama is not immediately forthcoming, say, "I told you so."
It is amazing that for 8 long years of lies, budget deficits, illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, alienating most of our nation-friends, ignoring the UN, giving no-bid handouts to corporate buddies, savaging the environment, conducting secret energy meetings, torturing prisoners, holding people for years without charging them, sending troops to Iraq with inadequate equipment, stopping budgets for adequate vets' benefits, embarrassing the U.S. over and over, ruining healthcare and retirement programs, offering primitive solutions to education problems, hiding the president's background history, continuing the Bush family special contacts with Saudi royals, spying on innocent U.S. citizens, and causing a horrendous economic disaster, NOW the right-wingers want a fix for all this in months if not in days from Obama. Absolutely amazing.
Halliburton, oil corporations, Americans making over a million dollars a year, pharmaceutical corporations, insurance companies, Lockheed, General Electric, energy companies, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, U.S. Supreme Court, Congressional Republicans, pentecostal churches, Pat Robertson, ammunition companies, the Saudi family, banks, investment tycoons, Mr. Madoff, Mr. Chablani, Dick Cheney, neocons, right-wingers, fascists, Burlington [Wis.] Liars Club, FoxNews, Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, No Child Left Behind masqueraders, vouchers schools, union busters, No New Taxes groups, Blackwater, Phyllis Schlafly, NRA, John Birch Society, Flat Earth Society, creationists, Bob Jones University, KKK, fundamentalists, torturers, military-industrial complex, gun store owners, Bill O'Reilly, etc. We owe you a great deal. Holiday blessings to you, Mr. President.
Of course there is room for forgiveness for all the lies, deceptions, mistakes, and general crookedness of the administration of George W. Bush. But Mr. Bush will have to do more than simply make his last lap as president with a solemn and melancholy look on his face. Honesty, openness, and forgiveness requests will be honored. Until then, let us never, never forget what he did. He brutalized the reputation of the United States, he gave handouts to the richest Americans at the expense of the poor and middle class, invaded a SOVEREIGN nation illegally, lied over and over to the American people, screwed up an already unfair health care system, cheated the military veterans out of needed benefits, took a federal budget surplus that he inherited and turned it into an economic disaster that our children and grandchildren will pay for in far more taxes, ignored warnings about the pending 9-11 disaster, held secret energy meetings in which the American public was forced to hand over trillions of dollars unnecessarily to Bush and Cheney corporate buddies, the invasion of Iraq set up al Quaeda in that country for the first time, his policies in the Middle East greatly enhanced the power and influence of Iran, gave no-bid and no-accountabiity contracts to Halliburton, Blackwater, etc., acted as a Saudi surrogate as he again carried out horrible plans to help the Saudis illegally as his father and grandfather had done, endangered the health and safety of every American with policies that harmed the environment and hampered the Environmental Protection Agency, approved actions that tortured people, snooped on innocent American citizens, held thousands in Guantanamo without ever charging them with any crime, and this despicable list goes on endlessly.
To claim that he protected us is the height of folly. His administration proactively sought to silence the EPA from releasing data about harmful products, including some that harmed babies. Some kind of protection. His administration greatly hampered stem cell research that might already be helping persons suffering from Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's Disease, and a host of other crippling illnesses. Some protection. 4,300 Americans have lost their lives in Bush's illegal war in Iraq, Some protection. His administration pushed policies that greatly harmed the environment and endangered the future for our children and grandchildren. Some protection. He hampered additional funding for military veterans. Some protection. He sat on his hands as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated, and now, finally, got involved at the end of his administration. Some protection. He sat by and dropped negotiations with nuclear-armed North Korea. Some protection. More and more people are now without healthcare insurance than in 2001. Protection? Our food banks cannot keep up with the avalanche of people needing help. Protection? The Bush administration has actively put in place programs and policies that have greatly hurt millions of Americans.
Whether any of us are in the wide spectrum of "beliefs" that identify us as "Christians," the story of the birth of a Nazarene baby boy in Bethlehem has special meaning this year in America. Think of how this story illuminates what is happening here. How common are the threads in the U.S. of 2008 and 2009.
Trekking slowly to pay their taxes to a military Roman Empire, built in part on Middle East military adventures, come a humble man who works hard with his hands, and a pregnant girl of 13 or 14 years. Joseph and Mary are examples that billions of people all over the world follow, but in hypocritical U.S., the young girl would be considered a social outcast. And a man working without a labor union would be poor enough to have to walk to pay his taxes a long, long way. No societal welfare was there to help them in their hour of great need, and instead of a roofed house over their heads, the birth takes place in a barn. In a sense, on this special night, they are homeless.
What has happened to the nation, the people, the idea that was once identified as "America"? We have become a nation and a society of wimps. We confuse unfair advantage with strength. We mix up manliness with weaponry. We brew hatred with greed. We have squashed the American ideal. We have become more than diluted in our posture and essence, we have become violent and insensitive bullies.
One is not a hero of the "Old West" because he kills a deer from a hundred yards using a mechanized rifle with a telescopic sight. The nation is not defending what is right and altruistic by using its military power to try and force and forge nations who are unwilling to bend to our overwhelming military might. A sheriff with a tin star on his chest, trying to bring justice to an emerging civilization in the opening frontier, would be embarrassed at the actions of greedy, mechanized, military pushiness. We are not an honored sheriff anymore, America has become a brute.
Through the malaise and fog of neocon and right-wing judgmentalism of the past decades, it is time to take stock of where we are as a nation and as a people.
"Trust us," said the right-wingers, "all this growing fortune will trickle down." It trickled all right, in fact there was a gusher that flooded the entire nation in debt and financial destruction.

If he didn't test for and find tannins, he is just wanting to sell more equipment and raise the price. I really don't like guys like that. And the only thing Kinetico is the control valve, usually the rest is the same stuff I and other independent dealers sell. So ask him why such a high price. Far too many Kinetico dealers and their salesmen are like that; IMO they're crooks.
Is the sulfur odor in both the hot and cold or hot or cold only? Have you had a Coliform bacteria test done? If not get one done.
And why don't you want to install your equipment yourself, you may not know it but you may not have to solder? And it only takes about two hours and will save you hundreds of dollars; and, ya git braggin' rights! Plus, ya likely will become a handyman hero to she who you love and must obey, whether she admits it or not...There's certain side benefits to that. Especially if you buy a new smelling leather tool belt for a pair of Channel Lock type pliers, an adjustable wrench and a tubing cutter.

The establishment of a European expeditionary force will be no easy matter, will require substantial investment, and will take years to complete. However, it is the right course for Europe to take. The European Union (EU) cannot manage emerging security issues using Cold War legacy forces because they are too ponderous to deploy. A lighter, more nimble expeditionary force is critical to EU policy.

Oakland Police Brutality Tab Reaches $2.9M

In my mind's eye I have spied the coming war. I have witnessed battles along Geary Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue. In North Beach and on Market Street I have seen brother turn against sister, neighbor against neighbor. Finally, my vision says, there will be peace. And it will be a deeper, more harmonious peace than the city has ever lived.
I have seen the "X Plan," the template for San Francisco's coming struggle between cars and public transit. And in the end, my vision says, it will be for the good.
During the past few weeks Muni Director Michael Burns has been quietly circulating a transit-improvement wish list (titled "X Plan Draft" in the version I obtained) that, among other things, proposes cordoning off miles of traffic lanes with cement guardrails, creating car-free, high-speed bus rights-of-way. The result would be "high-capacity, easily accessible, rapid-transit-style" service for the entire city, the plan says.
But while promising greater transit harmony, the X Plan also portends years of scuffling between western S.F. residents -- who have traditionally opposed projects that impede cars -- and central city residents, who are more likely to ride the bus. With the proposed closure of dozens of miles of thoroughfare traffic lanes, the old ill will may rise again.
As with Siddhartha, Charles Darwin, and St. Malachy O'Morgair, archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, before me, my vision involved a voyage. To see into San Francisco's transport future I traveled: to Blackpool, England, site of Great Britain's first passenger tramway, and one of the world's earliest light rail systems. I went to Edinburgh, Scotland, which recently closed traffic lanes to private cars, creating a network of exclusive rights-of-way for buses, bikes, and taxis. I went to London, which has hired a pair of New York consultants to lead a citywide public transit overhaul. I took the ferry to France, traveling by bus to Paris, where the mayor is in the midst of an epic fight to oust automobiles from the city. And I took the Chunnel back.
At the end of my journey, which involved 80 hours of travel by train, bus, car, boat, subway, and airplane, I reached the following conclusion: Transport is an awful thing. By the end of two weeks I was sick with a cold. My neck and back hurt; I had a headache; and I had a large, stress-induced canker sore. I learned what any urban planner or weekday commuter already knows: It's not travel we want -- it's access.
For three-quarters of a century, gaining greater access to jobs, schools, shopping, and recreation has meant getting an automobile. To realize this dream of quick, easy car access, streets were made increasingly wider at the expense of public space, sidewalks, and buildings. Rail systems in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and elsewhere were torn up, making way for more automobile traffic. In San Francisco, like everywhere else in America, driving and parking spaces replaced walking space, playing space, living space, and work space -- all to realize the dream of quick and easy access. Before, streets such as Bush, Sutter, and Geary were akin to lively, walkable Parisian streets, lined with turn-of-the-century, seven-story apartment buildings with ample sidewalks and thriving storefronts. Over the years these streets have been widened into four-lane, one-way car-moving devices. Few people walk there, retail businesses can't seem to stay afloat, and there is no public life to speak of. At the end of 2001 San Francisco downtown streets are completely saturated with car traffic; adding significantly more cars would create dawn-to-dusk gridlock.
In accommodating the dream of easy access by automobile, we've put the richness of urban life out of reach.
Frederic Objois and Patrick Simbault, thirtysomething officials with Paris' division of streets and transit, hug their jackets against the early-evening chill and gesture toward a blocklong traffic barrier recently erected to keep cars out of the bus lane. The barrier is the indirect handiwork of Bertrand Delanoë, the Socialist mayor whose election in March ended a century of right-wing rule in the French capital. He provoked a fierce debate in Paris by fulfilling election promises to boost public transport, walking, and cycling at the expense of the private car. As a symbolic first gesture, during the holiday period from mid-July to mid-August the mayor closed the expressway along the banks of the Seine to cars, allowing bicyclists, roller skaters, and pedestrians to roam free.
Former French President Georges Pompidou had justified the construction of this disfiguring motorway along the once grass-carpeted riverbank with the quip "les Français aiment leurs bagnoles" (the French love their cars). Four decades later Parisians hated the resulting auto exhaust enough to elect a mayor who promised to wean the city from cars. To this end, Delanoë's transit department has been charged with creating 41 kilometers of car-free bus-bike-taxi lanes a year, building an ambitious subway that circles the city's perimeter, and, most controversial of all, effectively banishing automobile through-traffic from Paris' central neighborhoods. According to this "green neighborhoods" plan, smaller streets will become one-way routes to nowhere, striped so it becomes impossible to reach one side of the neighborhood from the other without driving in circles for hours.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
May 07, 2009
With swine flu the top topic on the public's mind last week, local television news stations and cable news networks remained the most frequented sources of information for Americans (cited as a news source on the subject by 69% and 63%, respectively). But the latest Pew Research News Interest Index survey also finds that about half the public (49%) turned to the internet for information about the virus. Moreover, asked which news source had been most useful in this regard, 25% of respondents named the internet, putting it at the top of the list of information sources in terms of utility. Which websites were the most frequented sources?
Health information sites on the internet are numerous and popular. A September 2008 report by the web-tracking service comScore, Inc. found that the health website category grew by 21% in terms of visits over the preceding year, more than four times as fast as total internet usage. But individual private health sites do not appear to have been the primary recourse of swine flu fact-seekers. When in search of flu facts—or, indeed, of ailment-related information generally—the experts say that most people start with ... a search. "Google is the top "health" site on the internet because of the long tail of health questions," says Susannah Fox, associate director for digital strategy at the Pew Internet & American Life Project. "Our data consistently finds that people start their health inquiry at a general search site."

If you're using Behlen nitro lacquer then use this to reduce it. The hardware store lacquer thinner works fine for clean up but for mixing to spray, use this.
This stuff is great. Dont risk your projects by trying to save a few bucks buying hardware store lacquer thinner. This is perfectly compatible and gives amazing results.
Gotta have it.
Perfect reducer for the excellent Behlin Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Mixes well and prevents sags and runs, melting and blending with previous layers perfectly. Very chemically compatible with Behlin Lacquer, works much better than conventional lacquer thinnner, leaving a high gloss, smooth surface even before buffing. Well worth the price!
This is the perfect thinner for Behlen Nitro. Cell. Lacquer it helps to burn into touchup jobs as well as laying out a good smooth finish on a new build or a refinish on an older fix up.
I use this reducer with Behlen Nitro Lacquer and they produce an excellent finish.

SPARKS — On April 15, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England to New York City meeting its inundated fate before reaching America, leaving behind its 1912 882-foot long piece history more than 12,000 feet beneath the sea.
Titanic Nights, the theme chosen by the Sparks Museum and Cultural Center, will give visitors a chance to relive the Titanic experience throughout the month of April. The museum will mark the weekend of April 15, which memorialized the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, Festivities will be held onsite Thursday through Saturday, designed to enrich and educate visitors about the notorious oceanliner.
The main attraction is the digital dome screening of the film "Night of the Titanic". The inflatable dome, supplied by the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada (CLCNN) in collaboration with Sparks Museum, will give visitors a multimedia planetarium experience of the Titanic, from it's construction to its sinking and submerged discovery. Topics will include the events and conditions that caused this great tragedy.
"(The dome) gives a little different angle on the events of that night," Paul McFarlane, director of the (CLCNN), said. "It goes into the engineering components and things that some people may not necessarily know about."
McFarlane and the CLCNN, which is operating out of a storage building at Sparks High School, partnered with Sparks Museum for this event not only for education, but for commemoration. Alongside the film, which comes straight from the Houston Museum of natural science, will be immersion in the fashion and dance culture that took place aboard the ship.
"The fashion people wore on the ship were things that people in Sparks would have been wearing as well," McFarlane said, adding that people will also have the chance Thursday to learn more about the women and children who occupied the Titanic.
On Friday, visitors will experience some of the music played Titanic and taste samples of actual menu items for first, second and third-class passengers prepared by local gourmet chef Craig Rodrigue.
Sparks Museum offers visitors a chance to take full advantage of all their facilities, according to Executive Director Anthea Humphreys.
"The tickets to the dome program will offer free admission to the museum and the permanent exhibits that depict what life was like on the Titanic," Humphreys said, adding that visitors may also travel on the Victorian Avenue train free of charge.
"There is a little something for everyone, with the food samples and the dome program giving a wide variety for visitors," McFarlane said. "It's a full sensory experience to give people a chance to see, hear, smell and taste something of the Titanic."
Sparks Museum and the CLCNN have also combined to bring replicas of items that were found on the ship and provide them to the viewing public during the duration of the events. McFarlane, an interdisciplinary instructor at Sparks High, has acquired several replicas for the display that he has used as teaching tools during his classes. He hopes his involvement in the CLCNN will help push the program to become one of 50 globally recognized Challenger Learning Centers.
The board of directors has former and current members of NASA and operates as a non-profit organization. With the help of the Sparks Museum partnership and month-long event, as well as taking the traveling inflatable dome to other Nevada schools, they are pushing to become fully funded.
"Night of the Titanic" presentations will be held every Saturday in April beginning today. Admission fees to the dome presentations, as well as Thursday's fashion and dance and Friday's music and food programs, are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. A pass for all three events is available for $25. Tickets can be reserved through Anthea Humphreys by calling 355-1144.

In January and February 1921, the fighting and support ships stationed in the Atlantic and the Pacific met in Panama for a cruise and joint maneuvers in the Pacific south of the equator. As this would be the first major Fleet exercise after World War I, one of the Navy's goals was to determine if ships stationed in the Atlantic could meet with their counterparts from the Pacific and operate successfully without additional training.

Wicked. Can't wait to try it out
Does it handle multiple companies in multiple countries?
Also why do we have to use a macro? Seems like a cheap and dirty work around. Surely we should be able to do this properly within xero?
22 July 2011 #
I can't wait to see this – is this coming out in the UK version as well?
@Richard Partner Edition?? Does that mean I won't have access to it, even though I have 4 "Large" Xero accounts?
25 July 2011 #
+1 for having the macro available to regular non partner-edition users.
+100 for having this available as standard in the Xero application. I would pay for a new organisation that was a consolidation of other organisations if necessary.
@Richard Thanks for email, I think you could safely assume any person that has more than one account would like a consolidation tool!
26 July 2011 #
@Richard So in other words there is no multiple currency support?
Also just noticed that it's only for partner edition. So not only is the 'feature' a cheap excel hack, with no multiple currency support, it's not available to us meer mortals with multiple companies on xero?
C'mon xero… you're better than this!
Proper consolidations from Xero will come after we've delivered Report Packs completely as they build the foundations for smart consolidations. This Excel spreadsheet from Deloitte is a good temporary measure. We have also seen others use the Reporting API to pull reports out of Xero in XML and consolidate in code.
No reason why the Excel spreadsheet can't be extended to handle currencies.
Sorry but as always there is so much to do but native consolidations is a direction we're working towards as you can see with the Report Pack work.
28 July 2011 #
Well Done Xero
This should be very useful. We'd prefer to keep consolidation in Excel anyway. Looking forward to the report pack release.
Please can I have the spreadsheet, not a partner but have 2 multi currency accounts. tips for using this with multi currency appreciated
2 September 2011 #
Guys, any sign of this appearing – I can't see it in the resources section of the partner edition but perhaps I'm missing something?
5 September 2011 #
Could I please have a copy of the spreadsheet? Thanks in advance.
13 September 2011 #
Can I also have a copy of the spreadsheet or a link to the file? Thanks.
22 September 2011 #
Awesome work guys, I keep falling in love with you over and over again!!
3 November 2011 #
Has anyone used this consolidation tool? How useful have you found it?
Can the consolidation tool handle multi currency? i.e UK GBP accounts converted to Euro then consolidated with Irish Euro accounts
I have requested a copy of this macro from Support, so when I get it I will have a play … but realistically, I agree with others, this needs to be a core feature!
Along with the ability to run other reports across a group (e.g. how much did our subsidiaries spend with Supplier X in the last 6 months). Anyone know of any offerings from 3rd parties that might make this easier?
I've tried to run this but it keeps throwing up an error message, even on the demo version ('an error has occurred on the reports – please try again'). Any of you have had error messages? If yes, how did you get round them? Thanks.
Hi there, I'm getting the same problem as Mel Cann above. Can't even get the demo to work. Thanks!
21 February 2012 #
What an awesome resource. Thank you!
Demo worked but not when I've tried with our companies! Can it be because 1 company has 13 bank accounts and the other only one ??? and 1 have same account number but different name? + intercompany same accounts but different name!
This tool was given to me today by Xero support! Thx. Will look into the Add-on
29 November 2012 #
Richard, can you pelase send me a copy of the excel tool.
Oh well, I'll have to wait to change to Xero it seems as I don't want to use a macro to get such reports out. And as somebody else has said 'what about multiple currency?'
14 February 2013 #
Hi everyone. Spotlight Reporting (www.spotlightreporting.com) produces simple consolidations (including multi-currency) for up to 10 related Xero orgs. Each org gets a Spotlight Report as well as the consolidated 'group' view, great for performance tracking and informed decision-making. Extended functionality is due soon.
Has anyone used Spotlight? I don't want to have to convert my GBP balance sheet into USD, MYSELF, before consolidating with my USD balance sheet. That is the major pain point with consolidating, and the reason lots of folks are looking for multi-company, multi-currency consolidation. Does Spotlight have this capability?
Spotlight Multi looks like it could be useful. They offer a free demo / trial period. It seems easy to connect your subsidiaries up.
Major problem so far is that, after connecting my subsidiaries up, it fails to build the report so I actually haven't seen if it is any good or not! I have logged this with their help desk and they got back to me very quickly but have yet to actually fix or advise. In addition,
I have two other queries logged with them I am yet to hear back on:
(1) I can't see where Spotlight Multi allows me to enter in any consolidation elimination entries – very important for groups of companies, and
(2) because I can't see the reports yet (as they fail to build), I don't know how Spotlight Multi handles foreign currency conversion – it says it does it but the devil is in the detail and I want to know how it converts previous months P&L's as well as how it converts Balance Sheet accounts such as Retained Earnings etc.
Does anybody have any experience with Spotlight Multi or can answer any of these queries?
7 June 2013 #
Hi Chris
I'm reluctant to go into details of a recent support ticket raised for our product on the Xero blog, but:
+ Multi has an editable data grid for you to perform any eliminations; and
+ Multi uses the same foreign currency conversion service as Xero, albeit not at a transaction level.
Multi is primarily designed for large-scale aggregation, benchmarking etc of franchises and not-for-profits. You'll probably find Spotlight Reporting (which can consolidate 10 related entities) as a more fit-for-purpose tool.
From our website you can access training resources including video tutorials.
We are best suited to simple consolidation needs at this time and don't necessarily feel that we are there yet for year-end and complex needs. The Spotlight tools are focussed primarily on the trusted advisor, advanced management reporting space.
We'll be in touch soon. Thanks.
Could anyone at XERO provide a current update on the direction of consoldiation . We currently use XERO but need to perform consolidation functions that we no longer wish to do in excel.
3 February 2014 #
Hi Daniela,
If you are open to using an add-on solution for consolidations, you may wish to try Fathom ( http://www.fathomhq.com/ ). Fathom helps you to group your related companies together to easily create consolidated reports.
A few key features:
- Fathom enables consolidation for small and large groups (up to 250 entities).
- Fathom consolidates both your financial and non-financial results and also any targets.
- If required, you can easily process eliminations to filter the impact of any intercompany accounts (ie intercompany loans, management fees etc…) from your consolidated analysis.
In addition to consolidations, Fathom also helps you to easily compare, rank and benchmark each of your companies. This is specifically useful for franchises and other multi-entity organisations.
Daniela, please let me know if I can assist with a guided tour of these features.
19 February 2014 #
This is the function i am looking for. Could you email me please.
28 February 2014 #
Xero … stop beating around the bush and make this a core feature.
I have 2 branches i keep in seperate accounts, … downloading the reports then consolidate in excel … takes too long .. all i want is a quicksnapshot each week.
I dont have an hour to spare to go through the excel process.
Thanks for moving this up to the important new features.

Harrison Dillard '49
Harrison Dillard, a 1949 graduate of Baldwin Wallace University, is the only man to ever win Olympic gold medals in both the sprints and high hurdles. Overall, he won four Olympic gold medals, also taking two in the 4x100 relays in 1948 and 1952. At BW, he won four national collegiate titles in the high and low hurdles. He also took 14 AAU outdoor titles in the high and low hurdles and lost the opportunity for more because of the outbreak of World War II. After winning 82-straight hurdles races, Dillard failed to make the 1948 Olympic team as a hurdler but qualified in the 100 meters. In London, he outleaned the favored Barney Ewell of the U.S. to win the gold medal. Four years later, he won the gold medal in his trademark event, the 110m hurdles, narrowly beating American Jack Davis. An outstanding starter, Dillard was virtually unbeatable indoors, winning the AAU 60-yard hurdles seven years in a row from 1947 through 1953 and again in 1955. A world record holder in both the high and low hurdles, Dillard won the 1953 Sullivan Award as the nation's top amateur athlete.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
Oklahoma City has the fifth highest overall volunteer rate among the 51 largest cities in the U.S., as well as the second-highest number of volunteer hours per resident, among other high volunteer rankings. The latest Volunteering in America Report explains the factors that drive OKC's high volunteerism rates, like home ownership levels, short commutes, high education levels, low foreclosure rates and low unemployment -- factors that are also good for business.

OKLAHOMA CITY - It's time for Oklahoma City to take the next step in establishing long-lasting cultural changes by creating a large central park near downtown and improving the public mass transit system, Mayor Mick Cornett said Thursday.
While development in other major cities is being stymied by the economy, Oklahoma City is faring much better and should use the opportunity to show the country what a "big-league city" is capable of, Cornett said at the 10th annual State of the City address in downtown.
"While our momentum is still moving, and our position relative to the rest of the United States is strong, now is not the time to slow down," Cornett said. "From a quality-of-life perspective, there are two high-profile shortcomings, two areas that, if addressed, would dramatically further our ascension as a city where people want to live. The first is public transportation; the second is a centrally located, large public park."
Oklahoma City has earned attention lately for several good reasons, he said, including the planned construction of Devon Energy's skyscraper corporate headquarters, a citywide weight-loss initiative, the impending relocation of Interstate 40, and the acquisition of an NBA basketball team.
But one item rose above all others as the economy started slowing down, Cornett said: Forbes magazine citing Oklahoma City as the country's most recession-proof city.
"In a Golden Age for our city, while our economy is more than holding its own, while most of the rest of the country, in both the public and private sectors, is dealing with massive debt and in many cases bankruptcy, what do we do?" Cornett said.
"Other cities will cut back or raise taxes. They are, in many cases, going to close parks and stop investing in their infrastructure. Their progressive ideas about public transit and green initiatives will drop down the priority list," he said. "But we are not in that situation. ... There is every reason for us to take note of the economic calamity that is infecting much of the world, but there is no reason for us to stop what we're doing and change course."
Cornett came just short of declaring the launch of a MAPS-3 temporary tax issue initiative to pay for some sort of public transportation system upgrade - fixed rail, for example - a park in the so-called Core-to-Shore development zone north of the Oklahoma River, and a new convention center to attract tourism events.
In his 2006 State of the City address, Cornett kicked off a public survey to gauge initial response to the long-anticipated follow-up to the original MAPS, or Metropolitan Area Projects, and MAPS For Kids package of tax-funded projects. Feedback later that year revealed that residents overwhelmingly supported improvements in mass transit. Parks, recreation

Ruben Pacheco scored two goals for Sparks while Christian Moron and Jesus Partida both chipped in a goal as well. Partida also gave away two assists.
Trailing 4-0, Spring Creek posted its lone goal in the 71st minute.
Sparks got off 30 shots compared to just six for Spring Creek. The Railroaders now sit 9-1 overall and 8-1 in conference clashes.
"Our boys controlled the match from start to finish," Sparks coach Frank Avilla said. "We're continuing to get better and play as a team. The boys are learning to trust each other, but there's still improvement to be made."
The SHS club finishes its weekend of hosting the eastern Nevada schools when it plays Elko Saturday at 1 p.m.

Awards races tight as season, playoffs
By Stu Hackel
The NHL hands out its annual individual player awards tonight in Las Vegas during a glitzy, star-spangled gala that's a far cry from the afternoon luncheons in Montreal that were hosted by Clarence Campbell.
Just as the regular season and playoffs were hard to predict as a result of the league's parity, it's difficult to try determining who the voters selected for some of the hardware, and there may be some controversial choices among fans who will believe that the wrong guy won. You have to keep in mind that the voting was done at the conclusion of the regular season and the award recognizes only that aspect of the players' performances. The playoffs are not a factor.

We're still solvent. After the worst cut in federal and state funding since 20 years before Bill Miller was a standout on the Creekbank, we're still a town. After one of the worst tragedies our town has ever witnessed, we're still a town. I worried. I truly did. I had seen the previous mayor's budget with a set amount for traffic violations and almost $9 out of $10 already spent and I worried we couldn't provide services to storm victims or those who lost services due to damage. I worried if we did, we wouldn't maintain our independence as a municipality.
I was surprised to discover that my budget concerns had been addressed starting the day Steve Baswell took office. Math is not fun. Math is not headline-worthy. Math is not what sells newspapers. But Ohatchee is still here because of math. Ohatchee has the opportunity to really see growth because of math.
If you don't appreciate what I'm saying, imagine waiting for the county or state to act on a small-town issue, but don't hold your breath. For that reason alone, I will support a sitting mayor in Ohatchee for the first time in several years. I would ask everyone to support Baswell with their votes. Let's turn the page from the kind of ineffective leadership in Ohatchee for all those years and give Steve Baswell a second term.
